It's publication day for the paperback of my second novel - The Tuppenny Child - published by Headline.
The Tuppenny Child is set in the northeast coalmining village of Ryhope, in 1919. It's got a fantastic heroine at its core, who arrives in Ryhope with no money, no friends, no family. She is there to find her baby who has been stolen from her.
And she's a kick-ass feminist icon too. She becomes the first woman in the village to wear trousers, to ride a bike, to set up her own business - and all the while she's searching for her stolen child.
Not just that, she brings down one of the most powerful men in the village while she's on. It's a rollercoaster of a ride and includes a fantastic Women's Christmas, the traditional Irish custom of Nollaig na mBan, done in pure Ryhope style.
As in my debut novel BELLE OF THE BACK STREETS, there's another feisty heroine at the core of The Tuppenny Child and it's available here.
